Congratulations on our members who completed the Basic Pool 101 Course given by John Taylor with the Texas Pool School.

This was a free clinic offered to the LoneStar Pool League members. John conducted a 2 1/2 hour class with verbal, visual, and time on the table with some players of all calibers and everyone walked away with some new skills.

The LoneStar Pool league also thanks John for his time and effort to share his knowledge with our players.

As we enter in to the New Year, may your dreams and wishes come true, Keep your heads high and let your spirits glow bright like the stars in the sky. Remember that friends are a treasure, a note from Thomas Hughes. "Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends, for it is one of God's best gifts. It involves many things, but above all, the power of going out of one's self and appreciating whatever is noble and loving in another." Good luck to you and God Bless.

News Letter:

Division 1, Division 3, & Division 4

 

We're back from the ACS Nationals which took place in Reno, Nevada. I trust all of our players and teams that participated had a wonderful and rewarding experience. It was good to see the LoneStar Pool League representation at this National Event.

 

Again, congratulations on the completion of your season! It was a pretty close race for the majority of teams. I certainly hope you had a great time in competing within the LoneStar Pool League system of play and I look forward to your return to the next season.

 

The new season will commence on May 26th, 2005 and the awards celebration will be held at B.B. Wolf's Sports Bar on Sunday May 29th, 2005 starting a 12:00PM (Noon) with food, 1:00PM the distribution of awards & trophies, and at 2:00PM  a tournament.  Divisions 1 and 3 will also be invited to participate in our celebration & tournament along with new teams signing up.  This is going to be a fun event so please come on out and join in the celebration!

 

Note: 

A few teams from Divisions 1 & 3  have been moved to Division 4 in order to make a larger division. We are attempting to eventually have some parity between divisions based on performance, an example would be an A performance division and a B performance division, etc. This will take a few seasons, so please help us by playing your best within our handicap system. In other words, help your pool league by not sand bagging but by playing your very best.

 

The LoneStar Pool League is a sanctioned league with the ACS and our program is designed for fun and entertainment for pool players of all levels to compete in an organized forum by the use of a well structured handicap system. Our league is a league that enables players and teams to compete in National, State, & Local events.

 

So you want to go to the Nationals in 2006, the LoneStar Pool League is certainly a vehicle so that you can do just that! I will explain how the LoneStar Pool League can help you to attain your goals for the Nationals.

 

See you at the awards party!

 

Regard,

Don Wright

We are delaying the start of the nine ball division at this time until we have more interest. We have only 6 teams signed up at this time. Our minimum team count for nine ball must be 10 teams. If you or your team is interested in playing nine ball, please call the office. 713 464 3864

The LoneStar Pool League is starting a 9-Ball Division which will be on Sundays. Start time for Sunday's matches will be at 06:00PM with the normal grace period as defined in the players manual. The 9-Ball teams will consist of 4 player teams, each player playing the other team members 3 games each back to back. The total number of games per player is 12. (48 games per team) The time frame is about the same as the 8-Ball division matches. The LoneStar Pool League has had several nine ball divisions in the past and they have been well received and very successful. You might want to check out the handicap system because it is based on games won and lost. Remember that your LoneStar membership fee is for a one year period and entitles you to participate in all divisions, which also includes of course the 9-Ball divisions. The weekly playing fee is $10.00 per player per week of play. The awards program is the same as the 8-ball awards program. The start date is August 22nd, 2004, so please turn in your player and team sign-ups as soon as possible so that I can enter your team in to the playing roster.

To sign-up on line, please see : http://www.lonestarpool.com/player_signup.aspx
